Unions have no place in todays society. I thank them for what they did, but they also need to change as time goes by, and they didn't, so they must go.

I find it funny that this same union, who is willing to negotiate and give things up NOW, is the same union that tried to jam through their contract right as Walker came in to office....and refused to negotiate up til about a week ago when they saw their golden lifestyle threatened.

Ever see how much the union heads make? sickening.
So why didn't he touch the firefighter's or state troopers' or police unions?

Speaking of, the firefighters' union agreed to accept the same pay cuts/benefit cuts as the other unions in return for retaining bargaining for all unions.
